“Putin stressed that the end of the traditional policy of
military neutrality would be a mistake since there is no threat to Finland’s
security,” the Kremlin said in a statement on Saturday
“Such a change in the country’s political orientation can
have a negative impact on Russian-Finnish relations developed over years in a
spirit of good neighbourliness and cooperation between partners,” it said.
Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin said on Saturday that her
country was “prepared for different types of action” from Moscow. “But there is
no information indicating Russia will initiate military action against
Finland,” she said.
The warning from Kremlin comes as Moscow cuts off its
electricity supply to Finland following Helsinki’s plan to join NATO.
